warning: if you're not in drama or GAPS, you probably won't give a crap about this entry. it's really for me to remember than for anyone else.
Today i woke up with a "sad-hangover." i can't believe drama is over. it seems like i can chronicle every moment of my high school career based on drama; the highs and the lows are marked by the events of drama. freshman year started with the ultimate low in it's a wonderful life when i was sick the day of the play and couldn't be in it. i was absolutely devestated and never thought i would be able to show my face around the people in drama again. but i stuck with it and kept working so hard to get a good part, or at least lines. the end of freshman year through sophomore year provided highs and lows, but i never felt like a part of drama. by the "christmas plays" junior year i felt ok, and then out of nowhere i got an amazing part in the spring play. "You Can't Take it with You" is probably one of the best experiences i ever had in the Drama program. i loved everything about it. the cast, the crew, the play itself. everything was amazing about it. we got hit with some tough blows, but we made it through. this year, i decided not to do the christmas play because i was so busy with college and snior year stuff. i felt empty and useless, like i wasn't doing anything. by the time the spring play rolled around i couldn't wait to get back into things. again, i was really happy with my part and felt like i had worked really hard for it and earned it. Again, the cast and crew were amazing and i liked the play itself. i met some of the most amazing people i'll ever know in my entire life and i don't know what i would have done with myself throughout high school if i didn't have drama. i learned so much from drama and take away some of the best and worst experiences of my life; but for all the bad experiences i had, the good ones were so much greater and stand out in my memory so much more.
whether it was last year when o'connah pretended to have a hunch back and sang "my humps" or "genevive...ya tiyad!" drama definately provided tons of laughs and good times throughout the years. being around my favorite people for 2 months at a time working on a play definately unites everyone. cody sullivan completely made my life during this play. every moment i spent with him in this play was hysterical. but getting to spend time with annie, liz,j ackie, jack and sarah and everyone else was amazing too. everyone in the play was incredible and i love them.
the cast party last night was so bittersweet. i could not be more honored to have recieved the voter's decision award. i never ever thought i was going to get it. even right up to the moment he was right in front of me. it's such a blur to me, and i'm sure i looked like an ass cause i immediately teared up. it's probably the most important thing i'll leave high school with which is pathetic, but true. the fact that i made an impact on some members of the cast is the most amazing feeling. i'm so humbeled and so honored. this probably sounds like the least important thing in the world to some people, but to me, it's the most valuable thing i'll take away from drama along with the memories. but on the other hand, it felt so weird saying goodbye to such a huge portion of my life. even though i'm going to see most of these people again, it's still sad. seeing everyone cry and comfort each other really made me realize how united our cast and crew is. i mean, we're going to see each other again tomorrow, but still...it's just sad realizing i'll never act with these people again. they're the best and i love them. i hope they know that <3
i'll post pictures when i can gather the courage to look at them, but right now i need to study for my AP Gov exam...whoops
